Kiss Boots的命名直接源自Rick Owens最愛的美國搖滾樂團KISS,原因除了靴款外型參考了樂團標誌性的舞台高跟靴設計,更深層致敬了對Rick Owens影響深遠的服裝設計師Larry LeGaspi。這位塑造KISS樂團經典形象的幕後推手,其美學精神深刻影響了Rick Owens的創作,Rick Owens甚至形容自己愛穿高跟鞋都是因為Larry LeGaspi。Rick Owens更把2019秋冬系列命名為”Larry”,同時推出專書《Larry LeGaspi, the ’70s, and the Future Of Fashion》,完整記錄這位設計先驅的生平與創作歷程。

初代Kiss Boots在“Larry”系列中首次亮相,當時的版本尚未採用那標誌性的透明後跟設計。直至2020春夏男裝TECUATL系列,Rick Owens才正式確立如今廣為人知的透明後跟版本。自此,這個標誌性的五寸高透明後跟從未缺席品牌後續任何系列——從2020秋冬的「Wolffish Thigh High Biker Kiss Boots」、2021春夏的金屬鞋頭超高筒款,到2025春夏的Taco Kiss Boots與2025秋冬的Feathered Kiss boots流蘇版本,每季Rick Owens時裝展都為這款標誌性靴子注入嶄新的色彩、結構與材質詮釋。

Rick Owens與妻子Michele Lamy無疑是這靴款最忠實的擁躉,他們的街拍造型堪稱Kiss Boots的穿搭聖經。Michele早在2019年高訂時裝週便率先演繹初代版本,此後五年間,這雙靴子徹底成為夫妻倆的標誌性單品:從純黑基礎款、多功能口袋超高筒設計,到Michele在SS26時裝週亮相的猩紅色款式,乃至Rick本人近期最鍾情的全包覆超高筒版本,兩人以實際行動詮釋了Kiss Boots無限的風格可能性。

Kiss Boots的熱度並不只限於Rick Owens的「邪教成員」,這外型前衛的靴款早已成為時尚界人士的爭相上腳的必備單品,美國歌手Teyana Taylor以全黑造型配搭Kiss Boots現身Skims紐約開幕活動;Beyoncé在《Cowboy Carter》巡演達拉斯站演繹Rick Owens特製超高筒露趾版本;模特兒Luka Sabbat更透過Instagram反覆展示多套Kiss Boots造型。而Rick Owens的繆思男模Tyrone Dylan頻繁曝光超限量甚至“1 of 1”獨佔款式,不僅延續了這雙靴款的熱度,更成為時裝展場外最純正的Rick Owens美學教科書。
